Replit erroring out since yesterday

Replit Help
21

thanks a lot mate.

I just made a very simple script - you can find it here :
https://replit.com/@AntonK22/test

only thing it does is tries to fetch the bitcoin price from Coingecko, and it errors out with the same error.

You can check that when you manually try the api it works.
So it has to be a problem between Replit and calling of CoinGecko - maybe CG rate-limited requests from Replit or something.

Thanks a lot , i’ll try and change where i’m fetching the price from and i think that will do the trick.

After telling your test program to print the response, it says <Response [403]> which I believe is the forbidden error code, it seems CoinGecko has ratelimited or blocked repls from accessing their service. (Or maybe it wants me to provide login credentials, which is also possible)

Looks like the replit ip is blacklisted at the api side.

Probably I’m not the only one calling the API from Replit and they rate limited it. That wasn’t the case up until last night!

Thanks a lot for your help here, it really drove me crazy.

Happy to help! Also, please mark whichever post you think resolved your problem as the solution.
